Title: Overview
Slug: overview
WebKitGTK is a GObject-based library that provides a GTK widget
to interact with the WebKit engine. It can be used to write a
variety of apps, from web browers to news readers to rich text
editors.
WebkitGTK is distributed under the [BSD][bsd] and [LGPL-2.1][lgpl-2.1]
licenses.
Besides offering a C API for app developers, WebKitGTK also
provides bindings to many other programming languages using
GObject Introspection, including Python, Rust, JavaScript, and
more.
The main widget is [class@WebKit.WebView], which can be added
to any GTK container or window like a regular widget.
[class@WebKit.WebView] will then render the web page in the
area allocated to it.
Most other objects offered by WebKitGTK provide extra controls
to [class@WebKit.WebView]. For example, the [class@WebKit.Settings]
object can be used to enable or disable features of the web view.
